Masters and PhD Opportunity in Geotechnical Engineering at Canada

Submitted by sujan on

Hi!

Good Day. I am a PhD student (Geotechnical Engineering) at Memorial University, Canada. Currenlty, my supervisor (http://www.mun.ca/engineering/about/people/bipulhawlader.php) is actively looking for graduate students. If you are really interested, Please E-mail your CV @ sujan95 [at] gmail.com by October 9, 2015.

Thanks for your time.

Regards-

Sujan Dutta. 

Numerical analysis on friction pads - script analysis

Submitted by Angela Lemos on
Choose a channel featured in the header of iMechanica

Hello there. My name is Angela and I am a civil engineering student finishing my master thesis. The subject of my thesis is numerical simulation of a friction pad which is subjected to several cycles of 30 mm amplitude deformation (allowed due to the existance of slotted holes). I have to report the frictional behavior of the specimen and for that I have experimental Data. The variation of the friction coefficient can be due to wearing of the plates and, consequently, loss of preload (which was not measured experimentally) and also some strain hardening of the asperities, ...

RILEM Multi-scale Modelling Course for Concrete (MMC2)

Submitted by shavijabranko on

The RILEM Multi-scale Modelling Course for Concrete (MMC2) provides the opportunity for participants to become familiar with modelling cementitious materials at four different levels of detail. Different ways of schematization and numerical approaches are considered to simulate the chemical, physical and mechanical behaviour of cementitious materials.

PhD scholarship in experimental and modelling study of the composite pultrusion process for manufacturing of pre-fabricated elements for wind turbine blades

Submitted by Bent F. Sørensen on

The Section for Composites and Materials Mechanics, DTU Wind Energy, is seeking a PhD student for an experimental and modelling study of the composite pultrusion process for manufacturing of pre-fabricated elements for wind turbine blades. The PhD scholarship is part of the OPTI_MADE_BLADE project funded by the Innovation Fund Denmark. The project targets the development of design and manufacturing solutions for large (>70m) offshore wind turbine blades.

 In the assessment of the candidates, consideration will be given to:

Needle Insertion Into Soft Tissue

I'm modelling the deformation of a soft tissue under needle insertion, but I'm having difficulties because the data I have is not sufficient. What I need is about the epidural space, elasticity constants, inner and outer radii, etc. Can anyone give me some answers about that.

Fossil-fueled civilization

Submitted by Zhigang Suo on

I'll be teaching an undergraduate course on engineering thermodynamics.  We will use the textbook by Cengel and Boles.  I will supplement the textbook using my own notes on thermodynamics.  Teaching this course will give me an opportunity to revise these notes and add new pieces. Here are notes for the opening lecture.
